Since 2001, this list has been expanded to include some polycyclic aromatic hydrocarbons (PAHs), brominated flame retardants, and other compounds. Additions to the initial 2001 Stockholm Convention list are the following POPs:[1][2]

  • α-Hexachlorocyclohexane (α-HCH) and β-Hexachlorocyclohexane (β-HCH) are insecticides as well as by-products in the production of lindane. α-HCH and β-HCH are highly persistent in the water of colder regions.[3] α-HCH and β-HCH have been linked to Parkinson's and Alzheimer's disease.[citation needed]
  • Chlorpyrifos (added in 2025 in the Stockholm Convention) is an Organophosphate, a pesticide, capable of inhibiting Acetylcholine esterase in synapse, leading to muscle tetanus, and death of the organism. [4]
